I agree that having more teams get a champs experience is better. I just think that if we're going the halfchamps route, having fewer divisions with higher levels of play, like by having 8 total divisions of 100 teams each or 12 of 75 each, is more inspirational and can provide something higher to aspire to through the higher levels of play.

Watching Newton eliminations and Einstein this year were amazing experiences even as a veteran, so seeing that as a rookie or member of a team that doesn't regularly make champs must have been mind blowing. I'd prefer to keep as much of that experience alive as possible.
